Said Siskins general manager, Richard Gauthier, "We're starting to get some chemistry and we're healthy again.Only one guy is out - Dan Latour."

Gauthier has been changing the team over the past few weeks with a trade and acquiring new players from higher leagues who require more ice time.

The team is now older and bigger with some scoring punch and solid goalkeeping.

Gauthier told me he is not done yet.

On the goaltending front, Jay Peyton, an affiliate player of Collingwood Minor Hockey, earned his first Junior victory between the pipes in Monday night's victory over Schomberg.

His first game was the previous week against the first place Alliston Hornets and even though the record books show it as a loss, it was a shoot-out loss.

Trace Taylor got the call to play net Saturday against the Cougars in a promotional game played in Creemore.

He was stellar, blocking 28 shots and only allowed one goal late in the first period.Ryan Hudson, Mac Fleming with two, and Will Gerow scored for Stayner.

The 11-0 shutout for Trace was nothing to write home about as Fergus showed with a short bench.Several players padded their individual statistics in this one.Justin Reid topped the points parade with seven points, one goal and six assists, James Mense-Dietrich had six points including one goal, and Cooper Martin notched the hat-trick.Martin wasn't the only one to get a hat-trick during the week as Mense-Dietrich earned a natural hat-trick in the first period against Caledon.Also getting goals for Stayner were Fleming and Mike Mullay.

Caledon is in town this Thursday night in a game where the first fans in the building receive a hat donated by Walker Aggregates.Game time is 8 p.m.They are in Fergus Friday.
